you are mixing up "average" with "median" Several people in this thread have replied as much to the OP, yet mean is but one kind of average. Median and mode are two other common ones. And indeed, when people say "mean", they generally mean arithmetic mean, but there are also geometric and harmonic means...
That's not true. You have to include (unless having your hand held by Visual Studio or similar). You don't have to include !
$ cat > test.cpp int main(int argc, char **argv) {
cout << "Hello, world!" << endl;
return 0; } $ gcc test.cpp test.cpp: In function 'int main(int, char**)': test.cpp:3: error: 'cout' was not declared in this scope test.cpp:3: error: 'endl' was not declared in this scope $
The only reason gcc didn't complain about the << operator was that it parsed it as the bit-shifting operator.
Grand-parent gave an example of built-in operator overloading C++'s usage of the left shift operator as a stream manipulator is actually a feature of the standard library, not the language.
It might surprise you to learn this but javascript is actually quite a nice language -- I'm a Real Programmer(TM) I'm guessing what you mean by "Real" is "C++" -- surely no-one else would call JavaScript a nice language. I mean, if all browsers supported Ruby and Python it would quickly die a death.
Unless of course you're a Real Basic programmer -- that would also make sense;)
Fortunately, you can buy small glass containers that maintain an anoxic environment at four for a dollar, under the name "light bulbs". Excellent -- four dollar light bulbs that never go "pfft"! Where do sign up?

Sometimes we have seen various bits of extra functionality without having to pay for them -- e.g., IP over firewire. Admittedly this was before SOX -- would this sort of upgrade not be possible in our brave new world?
What about the changes they made to Tiger before Leopard was released? For instance, they added an RSS reader for Safari -- which was not yet available for Windows, so it was effectively something I paid for when I bought OS X. That's new functionality they didn't charge me for. There are doubtless countless other examples I could think of if I were less tired.
Protection rackets: true. Casinos: debatable. Drug dealers: not true.
Drugs are just like oil or sugar: you take a raw material, you refine it, you sell it for a profit. Casinos are like the theatre: you've seen Much Ado About Nothing before, but you'll see it again if it's well enough performed. Mobsters are indeed just like tax collectors, in that you can take or leave drugs or gambling, but you can't opt out of taxes.
I doubt very much we'll only every have the One Big Gaming company - games would suck so much people would eventually stop buying them. Just like everyone stopped buying operating systems;)
All I'm saying is, if Europeans aren't fighting for us, why should we fight for them? Europeans *are* fighting for you, by trying to prevent your warmongering president from getting your country into deeper water than it already is. Our countries are not young whippersnappers like yours, so we know from experience: the bigger your empire, the harder it falls.
I actually saw a commercial [...] with English subtitles?!?!?! Am I doing to be forced to learn a new language other than my native one, to learn to live in my own country?? According to what you just said, apparently not.
The right wing? You must mean the Clintons instead Just because the Republicans are more right-wing than the Democrats doesn't make the latter anything other than right-wing.
There's no need to give China all our wealth and in the process create a powerful competitor. There's no need, but most Americans believed what the right wing told them about infinite growth, and somehow thought they could get rich whilst everybody else did the hard work. Turns out even the American dream is beholden to the laws of physics, though.
Um... from the page you linked:
Differential A cumulative backup of all changes made after the last full backup. The advantage to this is the quicker recovery time, requiring only a full backup and the latest differential backup to restore the system. The disadvantage is that for each day elapsed since the last full backup, more data needs to be backed up, especially if a majority of the data has been changed. In the blurb it says:
As a backup method, [Incremental backup] is highly efficient, since it allows for the illusion of storage of N copies of size S information chunks, with a total storage requirement much lower than NxS. If the original information that is backed up does not change between backups, the total size will approach just S. If it changes almost completely, the NxS limit will be approached. Note that it refers to "size S information chunks", not "files". For ZFS, S is the blocksize, as this gives a reasonable tradeoff between time and space efficiency. But the closer to a "true" differential backup you get, the smaller S will be, with the limit being a single binary digit.
I wasn't answering the question "Why the hype or the reaction to it?", I was answering your question "what's the difference between multimedia SMS and visual voicemail?"
But I do agree with you that there are a couple of steps back in the iPhone, lack of 3G being one (and I didn't even know it couldn't do MMS). The other, for me, is the 2MP camera. For those reasons alone, I wouldn't get one... yet.

Wrong way round: M is for sci-fi.

I still don't get it. Do they account for, e.g., Leopard that way? Or can they not add value to their operating system?

erm... possessing crack cocaine is illegal, whether you bought it from the RIAA or not.
Yeah, but to get "r00t" on your ZX81, all you had to do was switch it on...

Nah, people nicknamed "hobbit" post this sort of value judgment on all sorts of different websites. You obviously need to get out a bit.

Even I remember all that, and I'm no spring chicken...
